Answer 1

Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity.

Answer 2

If you have a clean record, you may be able to work through the Red Cross. You can also go to places that need your services (Iowa) and work through local churches. Good luck.

Answer 3

Wanting to help isn't enough. You need to have the skills and experience that are most needed in a given area, that can't be filled by local people. You need to volunteer locally with Habitat for Humanity (as someone already suggested) and get training from the Red Cross. Also, if you emphasize your religion, you need to stick with religious-based organizations -- secular organizations do not want to be used as ministry opportunities.
